A rendering of what Flaherty & Collins envisions the Fourth and Race site to include. The Pogue's garage site is expected to feature 300 luxury apartments, a 15,000-square-foot grocery store and 1,000 parking spaces.

Plans to build a 30-story apartment tower and grocery store Downtown are in limbo as Mayor John Cranley tries to block additional city spending on the project.

He won't put any money into the project at Fourth and Race beyond the $12 million the Mallory administration committed, he said Monday. That's an issue because previous leaders also committed to relocate Paragon Salon & Day Spa, the lone tenant remaining in the former Pogue's garage across from Tower Place. Cranley said he won't support giving the salon the $1.2 million to $1.3 million it wants to move.
